Here is the lovely Colorpack IV Land Camera! I received this from a friend whose parents heard that I collect cameras. It's not in the best shape, and this takes pack film rather than your regular Polaroid/Impossible cartridge, so I have not tested it. However, it's pretty rad looking, and it came with a case and all the manuals, so it's still a great gift.
This camera was produced late 60s/early 70s, takes 100 or 3000 ISO pack film, and has a "cold clip"-- a metal sleeve you can warm up in your armpit to develop your photo in if it's cold out.
Here are some resources:

How to use this little guy
Oddly enough, Fuji is still making 100-type film and you can buy it at B&H and other such places.
Again, I haven't tested it but the pack film look seems really unique and beautiful: check out this flickr series done with the Fuji 100 ISO pack film on a Polaroid Colorpack II. It's really quite lovely.
Researching for this post really makes me want to get this thing to work. Back to sanding those battery contacts...
